New last year, performed well . . . Red Strap

Smaller foliage is great for borders and looks great in groups where you want something lush but smaller than the larger, fancy leaf, non-strap varieties. Red with some green, straps also stand up in the sun, but will need irrigation during extremely dry spells, especially in the sun. Foliage is particularly slender and adds a different texture to your garden. # 2 size to get a smaller contrast. This is a new variety. Quantities are limited.

For the past 7 years, we've sold out of varieties the first week. Pre-order, reduce disappointments.

Pre-order before Halloween, because orders after October 31 are filled first come first serve. For the past seven years we ran out of some varieties within the first week of arrival and could not fill orders or had to substitute colors because open stock quantities are limited.

Caladiums are a dependable color source ALL SUMMER LONG.Ordering in the fall helps you look at those "color holes" in your garden from our harsh summers.

To see why we say "lasting summer color" see pictures in a variety of harsh growing conditions including drought, heavy rain and high heat,humidity, low rain. We've been documenting some extreme and historical weather extremes, click here for the "rest of the story."

Since our grower cannot guarantee his crop, variety substitutions of a color are occasionally required.
